Obama has told us not to pay attention to the daily gyrations of the stock market.

If the Fed is not outright buying stocks, they will soon.

The Japanese Central Bank is doing so.

It’s nuts. Down 273 two days ago, up 270 yesterday, down 300 today. Very volatile

They've been buying them all right.

Looks like they've reached the end of their ability to pump it up.

It reminds me of that week in August 2011 when stocks went up or down 400+ points on the DJIA per day. At the end of the week, everyone felt like they took at ride on the big roller coasters at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, OH.

What will liberals do, if a good Democrat such as Obama presides over a market crash? After all, part of the mythology of Obama is that he “fixed” things after he inherited the worse economic crisis since the Depression.

My bad. It’s 335 pts, not 315.

I wouldn’t get too concerned until Rule 80B gets invoked and the circuit breakers get tripped

At the current opening level the DJIA would have to have dropped 1180 for a Level 1 (7%)

No problem; it could make a diff if the market weren’t closed, never mind after hours trading (those can make a difference).

I am typing the closing prices into my portfolio spreadsheet. Most of the prices are actually higher than the prices that are already there, which I think I updated on Friday. Preferreds and REITS are generally higher. Oils are down only slightly, and still much higher than I paid or would pay.

I don’t see anything that still isn’t overpriced for what it is, my yields are common 3.59%, preferred 6.65%, REITS 6.87%, total invested portfolio 3.91%.
